Omitted PC Power & Cooling because, according to many experience & comments, they rarely fail.
Excluded other brands (like Corsair and Mushkin) because they are too new to collect a large number of votes. Excluded others simply because didn't think they were as popular. Credits to Buub of TRForums |

Voted for thermaltake
Used 3 months and it's dead because of no reason. Used a 600watts true powered Thermaltake PSU, in a Pentium 4 with little hardware, and it's dead because of no reason, i didn't even overclock the processor, and seriously, using it an a very low spec pc, why should it be dead?  Thermaltake Sucks...  |

Wow, seems like iCute has the highest failure. My iCute failed after a year, just right after the warranty period.
I never failed to meet the deadline, I was rushing like mad to finish up my assignments during my college years and didn't expect the PSU to konk like that and it was strictly for my college work, I never used my rig for gaming purposes or neither did I overclock it. Very weird and I even used a PK Automatic Voltage Regulator. Hai ......  So, no more iCute from now onwards, I rather go for Thermaltake or Cooler Master PSUs. |

I have a feeling that people just voted icute because of the brand not because it failed them / also a majority issue. Used chapalang brand to OC to 2.4GHz for a few months but upgraded to FSP because of unstable rails.

My ICute 430W PSU killed my 7600GS. Got a free replacement for both the card and GPU and voila!
I'm now using a 550W CoolerMaster Extreme Power PSU. IIRC, it's 550W. Or was it 500W? |

Came across...
iCute = few blown ones, not that many AVF = as with iCute, few blown ones but not many L&C = many of these blow suddenly even on low spec machines, bad caps aplenty No brand cap ayam = many dead on arrival, or have bad voltage rails. Personal usage, both still working and have tasted 24/7 torture - old Enlight 300W from Pentium III days and 3+ year old Enlight 420W. Also have a spare Delta 300W plus a repaired L&C 250W (replaced bad capacitor).  |

hmmm. correct me if i m wrong,
noticed the trend. mostly all the 400w to 450w all died~ maybe really have to check on power instead of blaming the brand? no hard feelings, just an opinion |

I've used cap ayam PSUs for quite a long time but none really failed me. One cons though for my Icute, not suitable for 24/7 usage, it surely will become unstable after operating long hours.

My PSU never died on me. Even the Chapalang brand. The only thing that killed my PSU was the lightning. Good thing the one strucked was the chapalang one. Then bought Enlight, now using Fortron. Both has been working very nice 24/7~ Only changed cause want a higher watted PSU. Now the Enlight is being used by my friend and still lives just fine 24/7~

Could it be that good branded/reputable PSU died because non of the user are using any sort of voltage regulators to regulate the current? I have used Enlight 300W and now using Enermax FMA460W running folding 24/7 and none of this PSU died.

So they rather use the money and get a faster proc/ram/gc/etc instead without knowing the consequences of getting a crappy PSU.

Never faced any problem with chaplang PSU.Kong after a few years of used.But i-cute 420w dual fan almost fried my mobo.+12v to high.Then change to Antec.But now when i test+put into a mobo+a few fans.Seems the +12v rails is OK..i-cute
 QUOTE(shinjite @ Jan 4 2007, 06:52 PM) Its okay, not like my Antec Truepower 430W, 1 year only suddenly the whole PSU burst i'm still using TP 430w since Amd Palamino till now (AM2) and i always oc my cpu+fsb+ramLuckily still got warranty, got back Truepower II 430W instead with dual rails QUOTE(c_calvin @ Jan 4 2007, 10:27 PM) Never had PSU that fail me before even those chaplang 1 maybe it blown coz the overload from TNB.U don't use an AVR right??but.......... last week just change a new 1 coz my house blackout like 10++ times in 2 days till the PSU spoil~ QUOTE(kalakatu @ Jan 6 2007, 01:37 PM) uh..no vote for OCZ and HEC? coz only a few ppl using this brand |

hrmm.... just to share. 2 Enermax 600w Noisetaker failed on me when i'm still on DFI Ultra-D, 3200, 66gt, 2500ks. the 2nd one from rma is version 2 with 2 pcie connector but still fail. then swap to Coolergiant, rock stable and smooth sailing. according to ianho, it's the batch where one of the 12v rail got problem, thus only single 12v rail functioning. this actually found in the version 1 Noisetaker, according to TG Hardware if i'm not mistaken. cannot remember liao.
btw, i bought 3 HEC 450w or 430w (forgot which version) for my friends setup. no oc. so far so good. 3 already more than 1 year of usage. This post has been edited by Sanko: Jan 7 2007, 01:48 AM |

now using 400w enermax liberty,i think this PSU is rock solid and have superb design( it looks even better than my casing =.=!) but seeing this post have alot of fail enermax..now i feel scared also..lol or it's because alot of ppl use enermax too ?? but i really love this PSU |

Failure of PSU also actually reflect how lousy our TNB is supplying the utility power to us. The one which sucks most is TNB, increase price and still power failure so often.

i had bad experience wif Acbel. never did any OC or tuning thing, n the PSU somehow cracked itself up, lucky didn't burn my rig.
used several iCute b4, never had any problem. currently using a CoolerMaster, so far so good. |

QUOTE(seveneleven @ Jan 4 2007, 09:55 AM) I have a feeling that people just voted icute because of the brand not because it failed them / also a majority issue. Used chapalang brand to OC to 2.4GHz for a few months but upgraded to FSP because of unstable rails. But, izzit we rate for the bad one and the other way round b'coz we used b4 and we know which one is better and bad...simply as we rate bcoz we know which one is better.. |

ICrap gets my vote.
3 PSUs dead. The last one (430Watt) simply.... died when it couldn't handle the load of my new 6800GS. My PC kept locking up and I didn't know why. On one last reboot it died after shooting out sparks. Luckily nothing was damaged. |

Just some tip got from TNB friends,go buy ur self a power regulator for ur PC usage.It help a lot cos TNB voltage are unstable,last time 2 of my PSU (Acbel & CM) oso burn wihout notice within a year.Fedup with the situation just buy AYAM BRAND PSU with power regulator,until now using it for almost 3 year without any problem at all.
Remember to use ur power regulator only for ur multimedia use like monitor,cpu,modem or ur speaker,don't overloaded it with ur fan,radio,tv,washing machine bla bla bla... If overloaded oso tak tahan PS: No no no..i'm not a power regulator dealer/manufacturer,just buy it,u won't regret |

i voted for Others
it was a non-branded PSU that came with the casing and it was the only cap ayam PSU that ever died on me. Other cap ayam PSUs on my other PCs are still running fine. Of course I myself use AcBel but its only been a year so I really cant boast of how reliable this PSU is, but so far so good |

But some time PSU fail is becozz of 'burn fuse'. I use cap ayam PSU for my old rig too. Get strike by lightnng then cant function arldy. But aft change fuse it works fine..
I-Cute PSU get higest vote might becoz some minor problem like 'burn fuse'.. and so many ppl using I-Cute, and mayb its the reason I-Cute get highest votes. 65 votes for I CUte means 65 persons using it.. Its 5 to 6 times higher than Power Logic and Enlight ( which in same tier with I Cute). Bad quality + high availability = Highest votes. Edit: So another conclusion can be made is Malasians like using cheap PSU, even know it is not good. Pathetic is 45% ppl who voted this poll using I-Cute (including me).

As far as I've seen in many PSU's, these manufacturers use run of the mill caps, switching transistors, resistors, regulators and other parts..nothing really outstanding. They'll fail in a few years or go bonkers!..especially with Chinese made capacitors..cannot be trusted and have gained a bad reputation. Look!..top mobo manufacturers use perhaps the best caps from Nichicon, Elna and Rubycon..nothing less..it pays off for best stability and reliability.
My own, NOT one of those hyped brands PSU is modded with the best caps+ better diodes I could find..and its been now 3 years..still very stable!. This post has been edited by bsl555: Jan 9 2007, 07:20 PM |

Most of the caps for long last is Japaneses capacitor Nichicon or rubycon...... etc & base on quality component parts..... bcoz PSU inside component sure got alot of heat produce inside that PSU box...... after OC yr system..... better watch out those caps see whether got bulgy or not due to generated alot of heat from that component inside too.....

those caps are rated for 105C
i dun think a normal PSU with sufficient airflow goes more than 50C even the air outputted by my vga card at 55C feels warmer than the air outputted by the PSU |

QUOTE(jinaun @ Jan 10 2007, 12:40 AM) those caps are rated for 105C Buldging or burst capacitors is perhaps a very recent phenomenon. Its coincidental the critters happen to be made in China and don't have a track record or repute of Japanese capacitor makers. This phenomenon never happened to capacitors in the past where its being used in all sorts of consumer electronics from TV's, radio, hifi..you name it. It happened when PC manufacturers started using cheap alternatives from China for obvious reasons. A domestic TV has hundreds of capacitors and possibly in a more hostile enviroment than the PC PSU, even then a TV can last 10 years more or less trouble free compared to motherboards and PSU which its lifespan is probably 3 years maximum, either by pre-mature failure or owner discard/upgrade. In actual fact, other than power ratings, most PSU circuitry is somewhat similar albeit cheap, nasty in a beautifully made package, all vulnerable to failure at anytime.i dun think a normal PSU with sufficient airflow goes more than 50C even the air outputted by my vga card at 55C feels warmer than the air outputted by the PSU |

Bot chipalak and branded PSUs have failed me before
The worst of them all is MEC. Blown and took along the motherboard, 2 HDDs, FDD, and CD-ROM which is more or less the whole PC. It even amazed me with flashing blue sparks, thick brown smoke and sizzling sounds, not quite a "performance" I was expecting  Next is an iCute, managed to run for 2 years before dying. I've also used AVF, A4 Tech, and a couple of brandless before, no problems running a basic setup consisting of P4 2.66GHz, standard Intel board, 512MB RAM, CD-ROM, FDD and HDD. Add another HDD into the system and the PSU dies, some after a minute while some managed a few days, a month at most Last but not least, Enermax FMA 460W, the highly acclaimed PSU in the sub RM300 range. Only lasted half a year with system specs as listed on my sig. No overclocking what-so-ever, just folding with F@H for 24/7 and BTing. Sometimes will do minor gaming and video/graphics editing, I would shut off the system for a day once every month so the components could "rest". The PSU finally died ... or half-dead at least, intermittent power on Now using AcBel, so far so good (A few months ade) |

i would say its i-cute and worst e-master .... avoid them at all cost i had one whole complete rig burned down on the first day itself buying that bundled together casing and psu ...
worst the replacement unit also did the same thing and i requested for power logic which is still running fine till today so far my antec worked flawlessly for 6 years nonstop (touch wood) my acbel running for a year now np too do bear in mind that all my pcs are either overclocked and or if not running 24/7 for a years nonstop only shutdown when there is a power failure or hardware upgrade...

Also, everytime I start the PC got firewoks a bit in the PSU Wah! that bad ah?..fireworks..that's serious sh*t!..and dangerous for your other expensive components inside.Somehow manufacturers have intended PC PSU as non-repairable and buying new is anyone's only option. Considering a chapalang PSU costing somewhere RM60-100(more or less), in case it develops a fault and all the effort, transport and technician's fee may cost more than half the cost of a brand new one with warranty..conclude it's not very economical isn't it?. Anyway..PSU's are supposed to have the very best low impedence capacitors 105c inside for DC filtering circuitry and it just happens these caps are NEVER cheap..in fact the most expensive types compared to general purpose types. So, one can't blame manufacturers for sourcing the cheapest types from China and lowering costs for competition. The REAL DEAL PSU's I've seen in my day were those made and fitted in original IBM PC 8088XT CPU sets..they were built like a TANK and to specifications required. If I were ever to replace my PSU, I'll void warranty and replace with the best parts I can find..at least I'm confident it lessens the chance of damaging my mobo, hard disk or other parts. I just don't trust manufacturers these days..too much hidden hanky panky. This post has been edited by bsl555: Jan 11 2007, 11:40 AM |

Not really, chapalang saved my pc before 3 times hit by power lightning. But the last time made my pc crazy. USB dead, RAM sometimes not detected, random shutdowns. Now upgraded to FSP group.

I'm using Enermax 400w Liberty and this thing is crazy,it actually have more power than 400w and all the rails is still at a steady rate. 1 of the reviews i read for this PSU is really great, is has so much power that he setup a 6800 SLI to run on a 400w Liberty and the railing is still stable! (the 6 series have even higher power comsumption than the 7 series) and i got mine for rm295, just slightly more expensive than the 2 you mention above This post has been edited by madballs: Jan 14 2007, 01:02 AM |

wow. look at the result up there.
looks like we have a total winner .. but i think it is because most of us buy i-cute the 1st time,(salesman in PC shops always promote i-cute).. without knowing that it is not a good PSU in the 1st place. |

Icute is okay. I have 1 four years old pc with 450watt icute psu still running fine till now. I even oc the pc a little and the psu still can tahan.
If you think cheap psu is bad so how about those unlucky one who have all sort of problem with branded and mahal psu? some of them only use the branded psu for 2 weeks and the psu already spoilt. I think the main reason Icute got highest vote because there are so many people using Icute psu. If you want a more accurate statistic, we should take vote from let say 1000 people who use Icute and another 1000 peoples who use another branded psu (let say enermax). Only then we can see how high the spoilt rate of Icute compare to another branded psu. |

Whether ICute can tahan or not also depends on the hardware you got lar. normally people use so-so hardware for ICute also it fail.Try plugging ICute into a high end system, then will habis lar. got see ppl fry their C2D motherboard because plug C2D, and Winfast 7900gs TDH Extreme and use ICute rm300++ PSU.
Those people who buy reputable brands almost always have a high end PC that consumes far more power, and then some people overclock and open 24hrs some more, that's why they fail. but some maybe got a bad PSU lar... |

survey like this doesnt reflect the real statistic... cuz most of us use ayam brand or i-cute (branded ayam brand) PSU... ofcos the failure rate is higher...
anyway... i've been using a chapalang PSU for 2yrs ++ now... havent fail me YET. But i'm not gonna wait for that time to come. so i'm changing to either a Acbel 350W or CM 380W... 20+4pin is my first choice. heard that out of the two brands, only acbel 350W is 20+4pin... is there any other entry level (aka very cheap) PSU that features 20+4pin? anyone? |

If youre tight on budget, go get a FSP Group Saga 400/450W from Zamree for RM130. Search this on google for user reviews. Runs my sempron @ 2400MHz, rams at DDR480, 7300GT @ 755/1600 stable 18hrs a day.

you must know, there's a lot different in iCute PSU and Enermax, or watsoever PSU it is...
FYI, i got old system with 200W capalang PSU, which been running almost 9 years (once help my higher end system stay in temporary state though), but it's very risky ok, sooner or later, it'll burn your critical component such as HDD, Graphic Card, Motherboard... i dare you (Jcsy), burn 4.7GB of data, mutilple run of Prime/Orthos/SP2004, encode/decode video files, run Real Time HDR Lightning, surf site - LY.Net , and check your voltage fluctuation suffered by your PSU - of course run all in simultaneously and overclocked state |

Cap helang/ayam/kapak. It fried the PSU together with my processor and my motherboard. Maybe it is because I didn't plug in properly(because it isn't that fully inserted, like a quarter of cm away or less)?

i guess the people buy icute is because of affordability.
however please rethink, many people buy icute therefore chance of getting bad psu also goes up. For example if u apply 1/10 rules on icute products vs enermax for same volume like 10,000. then you would get back the same figure of bad psu. I am still using Icute all the way and no problem with it. While enermax sales volume lower than Icute therefore seldom hear they encounter bad psu problem which people summarized it as good psu. |

Enermax PSU is good PSU not because it have less reported bad PSU, but the quality and performance it can give compare to capalang PSU. Do you think that those branded and well famous PSU get their name for nothing? Anyway, I do not have intention to start a war here, and this is just my opinion... however please rethink, many people buy icute therefore chance of getting bad psu also goes up.

Using CM 380W eXtreme Power now,
Cool and Quiet. One of the main reason I *think* my Antec blew up was due to heat... its stupid in-built intelligent fan speed controller makes it internally hot all the time lowering the lifespan of it by running hot all the time =.= |

Looks like coolermaster is getting better from past failage. their new SLI ready PSU are all top notch. even Xbitlab (famous russian PSU torture gang) praise it for it's great quality. emba 850watts , mhhhh. what does emba means? samba? regardless, I'm getting one. What's with the PSU naming? Sounds weird and dumb dumb. too bad it wont last long coz the stupid uncontrolled GPU makers are getting all crazy with their power requirements, 8 pins PCI-E PSU will replace all the other soon.  AMD/intel are battling to tune down the watts while their GPU counterparts couldnt care less. Efficiency goes out the window, PCB designers goes mental. The result is super huge card that needs it's own casing enclosure and independent power supply. We can call it "GPU UNIT" ... and you can put it beside your watercooler and System Unit and Monitor. Buy a bigger desk too. oh the GPU unit probably needs it's own cooler, RAM sticks and etc. It'll be your "second" computer. I have a feeling they "berpakat" with PSU makers to empty enthusiast's pockets. |

~~~~HOLLY CRAP!! I DIDN'T BELIEVE that iCute is really that BAD!!...until i change my unbranded PSU to iCute 450W this afternoon... I presume because so many ppl having problem with Icute because most ppl bought ICUTE, so failure rate also higher....this is definitely NOT TRUE to my believe.!!
Here are the immediate problems i encountered!!! 1. Noisier than my previous unbranded PSU....eMag or something 2. My system constantly hang and slower at particular time 3. I have problem using itunes, particularly when flipping through my albums cover!!! Believe it ppl...iCute does suck! Wasted my RM90...hopefully still can change back within a week to other brand.. So, u guys suggested Enermax right?> |

i am thinking of getting a new 600 Watt PSU for my new PC that i am planning to get.... which includes Intel E6600, Geforce 8800 GTS 320M, 2xKingston 1Gig RAM, 2xSeagate 250G HDD and 2x DVD ROM.. for mobo i am currently thinking of Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R...
initially i was thinking of getting Coolermaster iGreen 600W but then my friend is saying Silverstone is a better brand... what do you all think? i am currently using coolermaster 450W Real power.. have been using it for 3 years.. no problems so far.. just needed a new PSU to support the new system... any advice will help.. in both my system and the new PSU.. Thanks in advance... This post has been edited by cyitling: May 17 2007, 06:22 PM |

So i tought this is big case, because b4 this happen, i change the proc heatsink to a better clipping mechanism. Tot i overheat the proc.. Then try to reset, reset and re-power, off and on the main switch still nothing. So i got bought a new PSU. Because if it really not the PSU fault i can use it on new System, becoz the CPU i am using is old and outdated. So why not try, lucky it power up.

I am using MEC 250 actual watts and max watts 450 ...
Use for 2 years already, I think is enough burn in period ... Then I oced the old system AMD 3000+ from 1.8Ghz to 2.39Ghz (The highest ATM,2.4Ghz reboot my system when I run PS2 emulator) I am damn scared the PSU burst anytime but still want OC it to play PS2 emulator with Super Robot Wars Original Generation ... Hehe, dun want buy PS2, thinking save the money for update PC ... How to verify whether my PSU did stable or not ? This few days my monitor was blinking frequently, I am not sure is the PSU not enought power or monitor life going to end soon. then I plug the monitor power adapter to power socket instead link the power from PSU, but still the monitor blinking ... er , any comments ? *add-on, after OC, I have never shut down it almost 3 months, is 24/7. Details snap shot :

About the voltage / watts fluactuation ... I am dunno why, before OCed, the MEC 450W have slightly voltage fluactuation, but after OCed, the voltage become stone, even no single change, ha ? Any electronic enginner can explain? I am gonna open that MEC cover and snap shot it for u guys to see what is that material build inside ... (transistor or capasitor things), er ... I will upload the movie about the voltage / watts fluactuation testing soon ...
Added on July 13, 2007, 10:35 amForgot to say, the Fortune Science (not Fortron brand) have burst after 3 days using it ... lucky mobo do not hurt ... The Fortune Science was come from JNC casing ... The 3rd day when I switch on the power, er, actually is my fren switch on 1, I think it burst because the earth of the extension malfunction (MAYBE), so as conclusion, not every facts come from PSU, please check whether ur Power Adapter , extension , plug socket (dunno call what), and also ur residental cable/wiring is serial or parallel type ... yes it do affect the current ...

imho, qualiy of mobo plays an imporant role, with better capasitors and material built it will greatly reduce the power failure to the minimal. so ask yourself, did u spend a good RM500 on a branded PSU, but not even RM200 for a mobo?

I'm using I Cute PSU 380W Ver2.2 Smart CBL series
No problem so far and actually i love it so much. check out my blog here Most of the PSU i use has die on me after about one year. (I'm not into games, i don't stress my PSU to it limit)I also have a problem with electric current leaking (same, when you touch it you felt the shock! ) few things that trigger the problems 1) my extension cable 2) my creative speaker 3) PSU But what's screw up our appliances are our unstable/OVER electric current from our local electric supplier. I suggest that any of us who want to save money, please do get a AVR (electric current stabilizer). it will help you with your problems. you definitely need a AVR if you are having high end speaker or any other high end home theater system units playing daily. Due to the fact that they were not make in malaysia you won't easily get it fix! why are we getting into so much problems with all these electric appliances? Malaysian electric power were powered at 240V in all the houses. Unfortunately, most of these appliance were made by china and they normally ship it to Taiwan, Singapore, US, and other big country. the bad news is that these country powered their electric from 120V to 230V. i do not think china or any mfgr will just specially made for malaysian which using electricity power at 240V. (at least not all the products are made according to our country specification. You won't see SIRIM mark on your PSU, GPU or processor didn't you?) so doesn't matter how good is your PSU, they are no good compare to our local electric current GET AVR to fix your problems! Good day |

Questions here. Between I-cute Safety Series or CM Extreme Power which one you think better for my rig. I'm using it for gaming. My spec
P C2D E6750, Ati HD2600XT,P35-DS3 Mobo, 3 HDD (1 External), DVDRW. At first the vendor recommend me to used I-cute, and i accepted it. but when i see many vote for i-cute i became unsure. i'm thinking to change to CM. At least the rig haven't been assemble yet.

QUOTE(tz916m @ Aug 22 2007, 10:54 PM) voted enlight. went on holiday for 2 mths. came back, pc couldn't boot. guess my psu went on a long termed holiday. it was quite new too. Enlight class slightly higher than PowerLogic... but same quality... not even one of my "chapalang/cap ayam" psu manage to die. branded stuffs.hmmmpf! QUOTE(skywys19 @ Aug 23 2007, 01:05 PM) is that powerlogic got provide 1 to 1 exchange warranty ? i got an atrix 500watt want to claim warranty but the shop said have to wait the factory repair it! yeah... go find Leap Frog Directly... u can search for their contact in Sonic Gear website i think... shop don do 1 to 1... and most shops are cutting links wif Powerlogic by now... juz imagine 10 come 8 return... Thanks! i think PowerLogic did not win cuz not many users use'em now... Enlight sedap nama saja... |

Actually the I-Cute psu is not too bad if not going to on extreme system. I use I-cute PSU for my P4 1.7GHz with 3 fans,1CCLF and 2 HDD + creative sound card.

Hi guys, I've just finished building my new rig with the following specs
CPU: C2D E6750 2.66Ghz Mobo: Gigabyte P35 DS3 RAM: Crucial Ballistix 2Gb 800Mhz GPU: NVIDIA 8800GTS 320Mb HDD: 320Gb Seagate PSU: Silverstone Strider 560watt DVD/RW: LG H66N SATA I have some minor problem with my PSU when my PC is not turned on. The PSU seems to have a very low hissing noise when the PC is not turned (psu plugged in and power switched on). The sound would eventually go away once I turn on the PC. Should I be concern with this and change with another unit since I still have 1 to 1 swap for the 1st week ? Thank You |

Haha still nothing beats my old trusty PSU which is working fine running my old Pentium MMX 200Mhz processor on 24/7.Using it for 9 years without fault.
I also got another cheap chapalang PSU running my Intel Celeron 1.0Ghz processor.Worked for 6 years straight without problem.Running 24/7 on OC Sadly,the case is not the same with my Pentium 4 2.4Ghz.MOBO got fried because of chapalang PSU but luckily no other expensive components inside fails.But even then,I don't switch it on for 24/7.

iCute is good but it's luck dependant... and no no to OC and very sensitive to unstable current... if u have an AVR and ur rig don take much power and u don OC then u won have any problem... tat's wat i learned...
and i personally think tat Powerlogic should take the lead in this thread... |

Icute is highest is because it is very popular and it selling many look like high effiency + cheap PSU. but quality still cant compare to other reliable brand.
But i got one Icure PSU serving for my 939 till now not giving any problem too This post has been edited by tachlio: Jun 28 2008, 04:42 PM |

Use ICute before, but when play games the PC always restart when full load. Now change to Enermax FMA, still work fine for the time being. Hope no warranty issue...
